    Caliber of Choice

    Re: Caliber of Choice Thanks for your input. I currently have a 22-250, .243, 7mm-08, .270 Weatherby, 7mm Remmy, 30-06, & a 375 H&H. I was thinking about something in between the .243 and the 270/7mm-08. I like the ballistics and knok-down of the .257 Weatherby but the .473 action won't...

    Gunsmithing Left Hand 7mm-08

    Re: Left Hand 7mm-08 As long as I'm asking questions, I might as well ask one other on a different topic. I also have a Finnish-made Browning with a medium Sako action in 22-250. I would like to re-stock this gun with a thumhole stock. My question regarding this is; what model of stock...

    Gunsmithing Left Hand 7mm-08
